EX3 in Exeter has recorded a five-year compound annual growth rate of 1.8% in property prices, positioning it at the 32nd percentile nationally with a trajectory score of 47.1. Rental growth has outpaced capital appreciation significantly, with a five-year CAGR of 5.4%, reflecting stronger investor demand for lettings than purchase activity. Population growth of 1.8% over the same period suggests modest residential expansion.
